Château de la Crée Satenay Clos du Chateau Monopole 2014

Château de la Crée可說是布爾岡隱藏的寶藏。在15世紀由Nicolas Rolin，即伯恩貧濟醫院 (the Hospices de Beaune)的創始人所創立。
直至2015年，Chateau De La Cree被美國頂級酒莊Domaine Serene Winery收購。現時酒莊的釀酒師與 Domaine Serene 的釀酒團隊緊密合作，確保葡萄酒質量無可挑剔。
現時25英畝的葡萄園座落於優質的產區，包括Pommard、Volnay、Meursault、Puligny-Montrachet、Chassagne-Montrachet、Santenay 和 Maranges，其中40%屬於一級園 (Premier Cru)。所有葡萄園都採用最小的人為干預，以呈現風土，並確保土壤和植物的健康。
Santenay 位於Chassagne Montrachet 的南邊，是布爾岡知名的“Cote D'or”（黃金山丘）地區最南端的村莊。 Clos du Château 是獨佔園，位於東南面，葡萄藤生長旺盛，必須控制產量以保證良好的成熟度。
